I had problems after my first attempt as well. I wasn't given precautionary antibiotics as I was allergic to the standard one. They told me when I had the eggs put back in, they'd give me something else. The eggs didn't fertilise, so was cancelled. Asked about antibiotic, told I didn't need them. Apparently they nicked my bowel during egg collection. I got a really bad infection, I lied in the end to get into the clinic by saying we wanted to go private. I got seen that day... My best ovary and it's tube was infected along with a lot of other things. It took 4-5 months to fully recover. I didn't need an operation like you. But my best ovary hasn't produced a viable egg since. And that tube isn't completely open anymore. That was my one and only NHS attempt. Our area only allows 1 funded. All subsequent have been private and at a less busy clinic. I had a lot of tests after, to make sure nothing was left that could affect my womb, developing foetus, etc. am not sure exactly what the infection was, but it was 2 different things, one being multidrug resistant. Good luck, and FEEL BETTER!
